New meme! Taken from rpg.net.

The Rules: Choose a known ensemble or team from a movie, TV show, book, or the like. Describe the GM's reaction to this team when presented with the players' characters in sufficient detail to allow someone the opportunity to guess what movie/show/book this is. Add this meme to your lj entry so that others can play too.

"Look, Jane, Bob, I can see that the two of you have been working together, and while I do like the fact that you co-designed your backgrounds, with one of you having all the skills and knowledge and the other one having all the power, I have to warn you that it's not going to be pretty if you're separated during play. Which, given your Disads, Jane, is going to happen.
"And Jim, I have to remind you that we've had you playing characters with Disads like Poor Liar and Never Retreats During Fight and Grudge and Revenge before, and you know how that one goes. You being saved by the hero and having a conversion experience and all that. Still, if you want more of the same . . .
"Mary? Steve? Okay. Two workable characters. Both fairly defence-orientated, but no problem there -- you'll need it. Fine. Yes, sure, you can buy up more powers later. I expect there will be opportunities.
"Mark -- no. Absolutely not. You cannot have a teddy bear body. No way. Not even if you bought the pizza. Mark, be reasonable . . ."

Other than that, my day was reasonably busy, which is good, but the signs of an oncoming cold have not gone away, which is less so. Oh well, weekend is now here.

Supper was chicken stirfry with broccoli, mushrooms, pickling onions (not pickled, just that size), spring onions, and oyster sauce, on rice. Was quite good. The small onions didn't overpower things the way that larger ones would have. Must remember that.

Hm. The Djinn French graphic novel series looks pretty, but I don't think I'll go overboard on it -- though I believe I'll pick up the first one next time I make an actual order from amazon.fr. (My Shameless Erotica budget is limited.)

If they fail to guess on first read, can they ask for hints? :)

[incandescens]

Don't see why not, though I warn you this one's a manga, and only has the first 3 books out in English so far.

[prodigal.livejournal.com]

I don't feel so bad about not having a clue in that case. :)

[incandescens]

So pick something else when you do it. ;)

[prodigal.livejournal.com]

We have a plan!

[harukami]

Bleach? *g*

[incandescens]

Yup. ;)

[canaa.livejournal.com]

Ahha, that's what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure! :)

[space-parasite.livejournal.com]

One Piece?

Why do you limit your shameless erotica?

[incandescens]

No, not One Piece.

And it's this thing called finances. Alas.

[space-parasite.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on, what else would you spend that money on? Food? Clothes?

[archangelbeth]

Visiting the states!

[space-parasite.livejournal.com]

But she doesn't visit *me*, so what's the point?

[archangelbeth]

Well, it's not my fault I have better bait . . . O:>

[dipping_sauce]

What's Djinn about?

[incandescens]

From the minimal blurb I managed to find, something to do with turn-of-the-century Turkey, and a harem, and a beautiful woman, and politics, and erotica, and . . . well, you know what blurbs are like.
